oooh Noni - I hope you arent coming down with anything - except a baby!!
happy bday Hayley!
hi everyone - just back from N having his jabs - I didnt do the MMR, decided tyo do that in a month or so...he is ok but seemed to be ina but of pain and temp went straight up so he had some panadol and is sleeping now. poor boy! was so scared he was going to do one of his blue attacks there and then - he didnt though and a bowl of blueberries and strawberries at the drs cheered him up immensly!
i asked the dr abt the blue attacks and it is nothing to worry about too much just something we have to live with i guess. i was als a bit concermed he may be ehind on his gross motor skills but dr said he is v strong and just to watch him for the next 2 months or so. he said he is v far ahead w speech and interaction etc so not to worry, they all do things at diff paces. that said in the last day N has been trying (and succeeded 2 times ) to pull himself up to stand so i guess he is progressing. so thats our news.
MD - wtg on the deschlpuping! i ama gym member just need to do it!!
when is dh home?
had a busy time with work but had a night to myself on tue when i was in syd. stayed at the hiltona nd just relaxed in the evening, did face mask etc and got about 10 hrs sleep. BLISS!
OMG is it Hayley's bifday?!! happy birthday girl!!
Sherie: i am sooo stealing the 'uncleaning' term!! the house looks atrocious because there is a trail of destruction. i put things up and away and L takes them down and spreads to her hearts content. i found an ugg boot in the bath yesterday...
MD: LOL! at least you are doing it now!! i'am always on about how i need to go swimming etc...never get around to it though. lazy lazy me. grandma gym hey? which one's that???
Noni: yeah, maybe you are coming down with the baby bug.
so happy that A loved the gymbaroo class! i love seeing their happy little chops!
PP: yeah those blue attacks are pretty intense. we had a friend with a girl that did that from when she was about 6 months old. her mum got to the point that they would splash cold water on her face or pinch her thigh!! it was scary to watch.
yeah L is also going for all her shots minus the MMR. we have a CO letter from the GP, cause i want to wait until she is a bit older for that one.
Leanne: ooh a picnic sounds really spesh! me wanna too!
Cindy: man o man that sux about the house issue. can you guys think about moving out sooner?
JaZMum: was it exciting learning about the gender of the bubs when they were born? i found out about L at the scan, and i have to say that i loved knowing and calling her by her name (esp for the baby shower). but i dont know what i would do the next time round...hhmm
AFM: all pretty good here. spent an absolute FORTUNE on a dashing Melbourne Cup hat (even came in a big fat hat box!!). i love it! we decided to splurge as we are going with friends that have a horse in the big race. so we wanna take loads of photos next to the horse before the race...gotta look ma best ppl!
L is pretty good. she has this runny nose that wont go away. not sure if she is unwell though, she seems pretty chipper and has no temp..just booga trails... anyone else faced this conundrum?
Clare - have to say that it was incredibly exciting - a bit like looking at a present with your name on that's been sitting under the tree for weeks. Having said that, with both Jess and Zoe it was about a minute after that we thought, is it a girl or a boy. We were just in love with our babies How exciting getting all dressed up for the Melbourne Cup. You lucky thing!!!!
pregpan - poor little N. The needles really affect him don't they. It must be a nerve wracking time for you. yay on N pulling himself up!!
clare will you be in a marquee - i am doing corp entertaining at spring racng - def derby day and maybe cup - if i am there we should meet up. though i wotn have N with me so no one for mis L to play with... yay on the hat - it has to be done esp if with owners of the horse!!! is it a chance?
jaz - thanks, it has been worrying but i feel alot better after the dr. poor little guy does suffer a bit with the jabs but he is awake now and doing ok, had some lunch and is now having a great play!
clare also meant to say, for us i dont worry too much unoless there is a temp... constant booga trails seems to the norm around here. delightful isnt it!
leeanne enjoy the picnic, we think we will head to the river and have a bbq tomorrow maybe.
PP: oh dont worry! i wont have L with me either!! ha ha champagne here i come!!
i dont think we'll have marquee time... ( just patting of said horse and the rest with the crowds.
yeah the horse is a chance. won some big race 3 weeks ago (and so far has over 1mill in earnings), only came 5th in the caufield, but hey, cant be too spesh.
Jaz: I KNOW!! love the chance to don the heels and fancy hat!
Clare, wowee I will look out for you on the telly! Make sure you have a glass of champers for your old mate MD, too Re the permanent snotspout, I have found that to be a sign associated with teething, they usually get over their colds pretty quickly and if not, there is evolution of the snot consistency, kwim?
Granny gym = Curves. Man those post menopausal chicks were rocking the equipment!! The instructor said at her last one there was this 87 year old that would come in every day and do a circuit. I thought man I have no excuse!
Pregpan I hope your visit to the drs really reassured you. I'm sure N's far too busy being busy to concentrate on EVERYTHING at once LOL.
Noni, Oh well I hope you're coming down with a bubba! That'd be nice!
Oh dear, E has just worked out how to reach into the cupboard and wiggle whatever's in there out through the gap that the baby lock makes.
Ok, well I'd better go brace myself. DD1 is having a "sleepover" tonight. Gonna set the girls to work making apple pikelets for arvo tea but I could be cleaning up for the rest of the night LOL.
mmm apple pikelets eh? People just have to mention food and i seem to start craving it. Even have some real maple syrup in the fridge....... guess i know what i'm having for dinner! lol
Happy happy birthday Hayley!
Ooo Clare can we see the spec hat? i've always wanted a hat that comes in a box. Not an Akubra though! lmao. You're going to have an awsome day, i hope the horse wins and we get to see pics of you all glammed up!
Didn't want to find out sex. Like the big surprise at the end. Thanks for all your well wishes ladies.
Went to Chaddy today. Man, shopping has become a real PITA. Not that i was a good shopper before, a little like a man, get in, get what i need and get out. But Lu just wants to walk now that she can, but never in the right direction. i think our shopping trips are numbered.
Sorry, have tried to read up but not doing so well! Have laptop on my knee in bathroom watching Lu have a bath! i better go sort this little lady out. BBL
We've had a busy day here today. I had a Tupperware party to do this morning, then an appointment with a solicitor at 3pm, then had to meet my manager at 5pm and get ready for another Tupperware party tonight. (Yep, I'm a dealer). Flat out! Just got back from the party tonight and am winding down on here before bed. It was a Girls Night In and the host raised heaps more than she expected and I got some decent sales and bookings from it. Stoked. I even won a prize from the raffles of a pedicure and a giant mug filled with marshmallows. Noice.
Wow thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! 23 today!! I had so many msgs on facebook that I havent been able to say thanks individually, so THANKS GIRLS! Just had a relaxing day at home, the weather was pretty crapola today so just enjoyed the indoors with missy M. DP came home with a bottle of wine so we've been enjoying that tonight. DP got me a $100 voucher for dymocks, lol very romantic my man but I love reading so its a very practical gift that I can definately use.
Oops I am so uninformed when it comes to immunisations....I did the 3 shots all together. I really have no clue and just go with what the doctors tell us mums, whoops.
Kate - Oooh tupperware I am a sucker for it!
Rainy - Haha the weather better be good when I come over!
MD - Granny gym lol. I know what you mean though, I had a fitness first membership and some of the fit looking women could be quite intimidating. Must say I didnt mind having a perve on the buff guys though
Pregpan - So glad you had the chance to pamper yourself at the Hilton for a night. You are such a busy mumma with work & all who deserves a break now & then.
Noni - Oh wow are you ttc, HOW EXCITING!!! I hope you are utd this time around.
Clare - Yep M seems to constantly have a runny nose, but doesnt seem to bother her nor does she seem ill. Its confusing isnt it!
Has anyone else been seeing the comments Mem Fox is making about childcare! Grr makes me so angry. Its not like she'd have a mortgage to pay with the amount she's made over the years!!!! Wish she'd stop making us parents feel even more guilty than we already do. Ok off my box now...(too much wine!)
kate - i know who to call now when i need some more rock n serves. (is that what they're called?) Congrats on the mega sales.
hayley - glad you had a great b'day. Do you get some free time along with the voucher? lol.
rainy - is the sunburn really bad? how are you feeling today?
I had a good nights sleep for a change. Dh got up to Hannah through the night, and even got up when the girls did to make them breakfast. I got to sleep in until 7:30, which was just wonderful. Hannah's been eating dirt this morning. She's such a cheeky monkey.
Has anyone bought the Better homes and gardens mag? I'm getting some great ideas for little gifts out of it. I'm thinking of making some Santa Sacks for the Lollipop Ladies at school.
ok, better go and make sure that dh is watching the girls while they're in the pool. Hannah is probably climbing the fence as i type. lol
Happy Birthday to you Hayley for yesterday, sorry I missed it hun, but I knew it was coming up. Glad you had a great day.
Jaz, May the force be with you when you join the school fair committee I've been on our Preschool fundraising committee for 4 years and I am OVER it! I am at the point where I dread going to meetings. So I am retiring at the end of the year. I hear ya on putting everything climbable out of reach.
MD, how did the sleepover go last night? Were you kept awake all night to the sounds of muffled giggles? Isn't it amazing how far they can reach? Alister gets things I would never think he could reach till I see him making off with it as fast as he can go.
Man, I can hardly remember what everyone said now LOL.
Noni, how's the belly today? fingers crossed for you it's one and not the other
Oh, we don't have the snot trails here, but just really rank nappies still. I did think they were teething poos, but now I'm thinking it's a viral bug he's got as he had a viral-looking rash on his back and belly yesterday.
ooohhh jaz- your nights sleep sounds wonderful....i'm jealous. you're so crafty too!
my sunburn is not bad, just slighty pink on my shoulders- i never get burnt though, i am the sunsmart queen, i always wear sunscreen....it just wasn't that hot here yesterday iykwim? aaahhhh summer is coming
i'm so bored again today. dp is working again....i feel like i never see him atm.
MM - glad you had a wonderful day, a bottle of wine with DH and a $100 voucher from Dymocks - you hit the jackpot girl!
MM - actually I've read Mem's autobiography and she worked long and hard and juggled in the early days, she was living in a car at one point. I'm not defending her, I think she's just trying to point out that a lot of ppl today consider certain aspects of expenditure as 'necessities' when a generation ago ppl wouldn't dream of making those choices, kwim?
Raino - at sunburn. I guess that hole in the ozone is getting bigger and bigger. My hairdresser was telling me she got medivac'd to the burns unit in hospy after less than 3 hours out on the lake. She's been waterskiing for years so it was a bit of a shock. It was third degree burns and she collapsed (!) So slip slop slap everyone, that sun's getting nastier than it used to be.
Kate the girls night in with Tupperware, what a great idea! Noice raffle win too.
JaZaH I bought the BH&G maggie 10 days ago and haven't looked at it yet ! I'm starting to think towards Christmas too as it's going to be craaaaazy with the removals, etc. I've got an advent calendar quilt panel but not sure it it'll get sewn this year! GL with the fete committee, we're currently organising our stall for the Guides fete. I had the brilliant idea of doing a "confectionary" stall as the cake stall was already taken and it was a complete winner last year. We sneak a few craft items in there too .
DD is being a complete royal PAIN today since her sleepover friend left. She's about to get her MP3 player confiscated if she's not careful.
Trill, sleepover was a complete success and her friend is such a lovely thoughtful kind and genuine girl, I'm just soooo relieved. It's doing H a world of good to have a special buddy after all this time. I guess i started to doubt that there were any other families bringing up their daughters to be genuine people but it seems like eventually they find one another! No muffled giggling, we watched Muppets Wizard of Oz (hilarious by the way), well actually I fell asleep on the couch and they watched it. So it was sort of an early night for me!
I told E it was time for a sleep, and she toddled into her bedroom ready to hop into the cot (!!!) She's been utterly exhausted these last few days. I took her to the dr as she had a bit of a temp and has been horribly whiney and clinging but he couldn't find anything wrong with her either. So now I'm wondering if she's just been overtired for some reason. I wonder if she's been awake at night but I've been too tired to hear her?
Ohh gosh too much wine & I just had to go and get on my box didnt I hehe. Marydean I know exactly what you mean, people putting their plasmas and flasho cars before their children. I can definately see her point, and I've learnt alot about young babies being put into f/t daycare (so not right) at uni, it just made me get the guilts about M.
The weather is so horrible here today and we have to go & meet with a marriage celebrant, really cant be bothered...
Rainy - Yep, cupboards are pretty full. Still the odd cheap chinese take away type container that DH uses for his lunches (I don't trust him with my tupperware, it comes back three months later with mould growing ) A lot of my tupperware though is in my kit which I rotate around, so am constantly updating both my kit and subsequently my cupboards.
Jaz - yep, Rock N Serves. They are awesome for freezing and reheating. Just let me know... Also, am very jealous of your sleepin. S has been getting up around 5am consistently (if not earlier) and not going back down until her mid morning nap. You'd think after so long of her waking at that time that I would be used to it...but nope, still knocks me for six.
MD - So cute about E toddling off to bed. Poor thing, hope she gets back to normal soon
Sherie - Tell that viral intruder to get lost and not come back. poor A
How exciting getting all dressed up for the Melbourne Cup. You lucky thing!!!!
